    Barn Find

    1969 911S Targa, 42,000 miles hidden in a barn since 1975. I bought her from the original owner. He was a Viet Nam vet and returned from the war, purchased her new drove for 5 years and parked her. I just joined the registry

    A 69S Targa... a rare bird... not many made it through the 44 year journey to the present

    Looks like it was Ossi Blue if that is the original color or a repaint of it.

    What is the paint code in the driver's door jamb? 6803?

    FYI, your car appears to have hydraulic chain tensioners on it. They came into the world, circa `84 and are an optional update to your engine there.

    This means your car was on the road at least in the mid 80s...
